Hi
I’m planning to organize small trip to India.
My, ma 17 years old doter, maybe somebody else.
Flight to Bangalore after that Shravanabelagola, Belur, Halebid, Udupi and what is for me most important forest of Western Gats.
It is my third trip to India after more than 20 years break. Without any international tourist office, but simply airplane ticket + backpack. I want to see in Western Gats natural forest of India mostly jungle, could you advise me something ? Where to go ? Where to stay for 3 days ? What to see ?
I’m looking for advice from “first hand”, not from tourist office.
All the best
Zygmunt

Hi,
I haven’t been to Khatling and the closest I have been to Khatling is Auden’s Col about which I have written here: https://raobharata.wordpress.com/2008/10/15/a-himalayan-trekking-expedition-to-audens-col/
Excellent travel blog. In Dec 2013 from Mysore we want to see temples around Haveri and Gadag. Need your help! Can you suggest hotels and guide? Thank you so much.
Saurabh – Since I never stayed at these towns, I am unaware of the accommodation facilities here. Check internet for good hotels. I don’t think you can get guides for some of these less-visited temples. Refer to the wikipedia links I have given in my blog posts for details on the temples.
Hi,
I came across your blog about your Thailand – Cambodia visit when I was looking for re rentry permit.
Do you know if they still give re renty permit in the Aranyaprathet border? I couldn’t find the contact details of the Aranyaprathet checkpoint. Please let me know the contact number of Aranyaprathet checkpoint if you know. Please reply to my email.
Btw your blog is very interesting and informative 🙂
Thanks,
Hema

i pleased to get suggestions from u….nvchandan3@gmail.com
Dear Mr. Bharatha,
I chanced upon your blog & was happy to read the experiences with lovely pictutres. I would like to do a few treks with a friend,like Aramane Gadde, Baale gudda & Minchkallu in March 2nd week. Do you think it would be a good time ? Can I call you some time ? My no. is 9845329317.
Prakash – March will be hot and mostly devoid of any greenery and hence might not be a good time to trek. Pinged you on your mail ID – Thanks
Dear Mr. Rao – I would like to trek the Western Ghats during the week. I have holidays from the 13th to 16th March 2014. Could you suggest some treks given that it is summer and also the guide details for the trek.
Summer is not the right season for Western Ghats trek, it will be hot, humid and water availability will be a problem. You might try a few easy day treks in Shiradi or Charmadi Ghats.
Dear Mr Rao,
I am very interested in a trek in and around Charmadi ghat after I read the detailed description of your experiences there. A group of 40 to 50 Students from NITK Surathkal are planning to go there on 22nd and 23rd March. Can you please suggest some nice places we could cover in 2 days and also any contact number of a guide if possible. We will be extremely grateful since we have very less time to plan.
Regards

Dear Mr Rao,
I have gone through your blogs which are very well narrated. Happy to read your blogs and amazing pictures.
We want to go for 2 day trip(trekking) to either Kudremukh or Charmadi ghat (After going through your blog).
we are group of 10+ and planning to go in mid july.
Need your suggestion or help…as that time will be the rainy season is it safe to go to any of these places.
If yes then please give some guidance with guide phone no’s if you have.
Also you can suggest us any other places which has about 10km trek.
Thanks,
Veer
